If we want to lose weight, and we know the formula to do so, then what seems to be the issue?

Committing to your diet and exercise program is the number one key to losing weight. The ability to avoid temptations is important, and sticking to an exercise routine and making it a habit, is the number one key to success. Sticking to this tried and true method of weight loss not only is proven by scientist, but by me. These tips are how I was able to lose a great amount of weight, in just 2 weeks.

"Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks" is a specific goal. "Lose weight" is not. You must be able to be specific in your weight loss goals in order to achieve them. To make them come to reality, you have to be precise and accurate. If you do, you will be amazed at what happens to you and your figure. When you set specific goals, you mind and attitude will change and adapt in order to realize your goal. You will bridge the gap between where you are, and where you want to be.

How often have you said, "I'm going to have a salad for dinner", then when you get home and see the food in the refrigerator, you end up microwaving a pizza? All too often I would bet. When you know exactly what you are going to eat, like the salad, weight loss becomes easier. Don't sabotage yourself. Statistically it is shown that you will have a 2 to 3 times higher chance at reaching your weight loss goal if you stick to a Predetermined Meal Plan.

Being positive will go a long way. As much as you want to lose weight fast and feel better now, know that it is not the most easy thing to do. Believing that you will succeed is key, and you will. But believing that it will be easy can set you up for failure. Remaining optimistic will keep you motivated, but thinking it will be easy might not keep your effort levels at their highest. Set realistic goals, stay positive and work hard.

Learn how to work out your "self-control muscle". To lose weight fast you not only have to work out your body, you have to strengthen your mind as well. Strengthening your "self-control muscle" is a learned and practiced thing. Go slowly, and take baby steps. There is no need to go vegan overnight, but instead of eating your sandwich AND bag of chips, eat the sandwich, toss the bag of chips away and grab an apple. Baby steps.
